Chapter 197: Plotting Guanzhong

Liu Yu was still very considerate to give Lu Bu a few days off and let Lu Bu rest for a few days. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Lu Bu finally understood what it meant to be blissful in the world, and he was still spending time with a woman like Diao Chan, and Lu Bu felt that his life was too happy.

Lu Bu, who was immersed in Gentle Township, returned to his post in high spirits a few days later, and started to do things more steadily.

No wonder people often say that marriage matures a man, and Lu Bu is the best example of this.

After such a long period of recuperation, Liu Yu plans to start his own expansion.

Liu Yu poured all the elite soldiers and horses of the state to stop Dong Zhuo, which was undoubtedly a huge gamble. If he loses, Liu Yu will be left with nothing. It turned out that Liu Yu won and reaped huge benefits. Therefore, danger and benefit often coexist.

The population of Luoyang was almost one million before Dong Zhuo's rebellion. After various tyrannies such as the massacre and relocation of the Xiliang soldiers, the number of unnatural deaths increased dramatically, and Liu Yu finally got a population of nearly 800,000. These 800,000 mouths can eat Liu Yu's huge grain and grass every day, and Liu Yu has poured all his wealth into it, and this cannot guarantee that everyone will have a bite to eat, and people die of starvation from time to time. Fortunately, Liu Yu's subordinates were powerful enough, and after a year of painful struggle, the people of Luoyang settled down. Because of Dong Zhuo's chaotic government, the forces of the family have already withdrawn from Luoyang, and Liu Yu occupied Luoyang at this time, and did not encounter the obstruction of the family family, which can be said to be a gift from God to the victor. Liu Yu was able to carry out drastic rectification and distribute all kinds of ownerless land to the people for cultivation, which invisibly increased grain income.

The ministers of the DPRK and China do not dare to block Liu Yu now, and now all their expenses need Liu Yu's support, as long as Liu Yu cuts off their supply, in Luoyang, which is controlled by Liu Yu all around, the end of resisting Liu Yu will only be starvation. Where have the ministers been wronged like this, they all plan to seize power and clean up Liu Yu when Liu Xie grows up in the future. It's just that I don't know if Liu Yu will let these ministers live until that time. The ministers all know Liu Yu very well, and the name of "Luoyang's No. 1 Villain" is still fresh in their memory. It's a pity that the world is stupid and deceived by this deceitful Liu Yu.

Huang Song, a business wizard, also discovered the huge business opportunities of the chaotic war in the Central Plains, constantly wandering among the princes, selling weapons and horses, making war money, and looting a lot of wealth for Liu Yu.

Among the 800,000 people, Liu Yu selected 200,000 strong people to join the Bingzhou Army, counting more than 100,000 veterans of the Bingzhou Army, Liu Yu now has nearly 400,000 troops.

If such a huge force is not used, it is a waste, and Liu Yu and the three military advisors began to discuss how to carry out the next military action.

Liu Yu and the four of them collected all the information from Li Gui and looked at them one by one. Tian Feng, Fu Zhu, and Chen Gong agreed that Liu Yu's best choice was to attack Guanzhong, followed by Jizhou.

Jizhou is in the way of the east of the state, and it is so rich that any prince in the north must occupy Jizhou if he wants to unify the princes of the world. However, since Jizhou has now been eyed by princes from all walks of life, it is very likely that there are already princes planning to seize Jizhou, and Liu Yu is now going to intervene, which will lead to various chain reactions, and it is very likely that other princes will unite and deal with Liu Yu like a crusade against Dong Zhuo. Even if Liu Yu can get Jizhou, he will lose a lot, so the gains outweigh the losses. So Jizhou wants to fight, but not now.

However, Liu Yu was very worried that others had occupied Jizhou, and Liu Yu did not want either of Cao Cao and Yuan Shao to get Jizhou.

"Lord, you now hold the greatest power in the world in your hands, and it would be too wasteful if you don't make good use of it." Tian Feng suggested that Liu Yu coerce the Son of Heaven to order the world, take advantage of the emperor's hand, and constantly provoke the princes from all walks of life to join the fire, so that they can limit each other, so as not to pose a huge threat to Liu Yu.

Liu Yu naturally readily agreed, handed over this important task to Tian Feng, and asked Li Gui to cooperate, asking the two to work together. Tian Feng agreed with a smile, as if he saw the future of the princes from all walks of life constantly suffering losses and internal friction under their own plans.

Sure enough, Tian Feng took advantage of Liu Yu's control of the government and the important factor of Liu Xie's close relationship to constantly issue appointments to various princes. The princes were exhausted.

After ruling out the second choice, the first choice was Guanzhong, just like a piece of fat meat placed in front of Liu Yu, waiting for him to gnaw it.

Li Gui revealed all the information in the customs in front of Liu Yu and others.

Guanzhong is now in chaos, with more than one big war and one small war. The heart of Guanzhong, once the world-famous city of Chang'an, has now become a city of violence and plunder.

After Dong Zhuo's death, his son-in-law and cronies also perished with him, and Dong Zhuo had no heirs, and the troops and territory he left behind did not have a right heir that all his subordinates recognized.

The blank of rights has made many people with good intentions see the hope of showing their talents. Dong Zhuo's old subordinates Li Dao, Guo Yan, Fan Chou, and Zhang Ji are the four people with great ambition and the greatest strength, and after confirming the news that Dong Zhuo has died, the four of them all publicly declared themselves to be the legitimate heirs of Dong Zhuo's power. The four of them started a fight for Dong Zhuo to leave the territory, and at first they were relatively restrained, knowing that if there was a big war, it would be others who would benefit. But as the contradictions heat up, a big battle between the four is inevitable.

First of all, Guo Yan and Fan Chou attacked the most powerful Li Dao, and Li Dao fought back. One of Li Dao's ears was shot by Guo Yan in the war, and the dignified Li Dao became a cripple with one ear.

And just when the three of them were inseparable, Zhang Ji led the army to raid Guo Yan Fan Chou's rear army, making the situation on the battlefield even more chaotic.

Guo Yan couldn't believe that Zhang Ji actually dared to sneak attack, and turned his gun to attack Zhang Ji. Later, it slowly developed to Li Dao's attack on Zhang Ji.

The last four took Chang'an as the center and divided the entire Guanzhong into four, each occupying a part of it.

The four of them treated the people in the occupied areas differently, Zhang Ji and Fan Chou were kind to the people, and the people still had a way to live under their rule. Li Dao Guo Yan treated the people the most cruelly, and it can almost be said that he treated the people as a flock of sheep and slaughtered them at will.

Now the people of Guanzhong hope to end their miserable life.

Li Dao, Guo Yan, Fan Chou, and Zhang Ji have lost the support of the people, and it is a good time for Liu Yu to send troops to Guanzhong.

Liu Yu discussed a detailed plan with Chen Gong, Tian Feng, and Fu Zhi, and the spies of the "Shadow Department" also continued to enter Guanzhong, seeking to seize Guanzhong under the noses of the princes.
